Tybee and Garden City

Also, our property is 10x the size of most in the city at 1.75 acres.

@Joseph Braunthis is not unique to Baltimore, i think this is a feature of many cities, including most rust belt cities. 

However, if you are an investor involved in multiple cities, you might prefer a lender who is licensed in various locations.

Hi everyone,I'm going to be building a portfolio in Kansas City and at the start, the properties will be multi family targeted at MTRs.Does anyone have recommendations for legal counsel / prep on contracting for those? 

I was thinking I'd buy an acre of land that has city electricy and water available, and pay that off so that it can be used for collateral one house at a time.  

If it were me, I would look at other cities in the Bay Area. 

I of course could get the property re-zoned but that is a long, tedious, and expensive process.I called the city twice about this and both times they told me that with R2-1XL zoning I can have 3 ADUs, 2 detached and 1 attached.
